I am thankful for…

Thanksgiving. Even if it’s only one day a year, it reminds us to think about what we are truly thankful for and appreciate how rich our lives truly are.

Soldiers who have and continue to risk their lives to protect my freedom.

My parents who are always there for me. No matter what. But still let me find my own path and make my own mistakes.

My husband who puts up with my constant need to always feel in control and still loves me anyway. And not only does he love me but he goes out of his way to make sure I know he loves me. He’s so good to me!

My children who remind me every day to laugh and not take life to seriously. Who remind me to appreciate the little things in life like the humor in Spongebob, the fun of a board game, and the need to be just plain silly sometimes.

My friends who keep me healthy with a good dose of laughter. These are the people who would visit me on my deathbed to tell me I need to get my ass up and stop being so dramatic. Who would laugh at me when I’m being stupid. Cry with me when I’m truly heartbroken. And wrestle a bitch when I’ve been wronged.

Facebook for bringing back old friends I’ve really been missing.

Blogging for bring me new friends all over the world I never would have “met” otherwise.

My education that makes me employable. That keeps my brain healthy. That fostered my incessant need to learn everything about everything.

The History channel for teaching me everything about everything. And then some.

My voice which allows me to express my opinions.

And my brain which tells me when to shut up. (Even though I sometimes ignore it.)

My blackberry which keeps my crazy life organized and helps me remember dentist appointments and to pick the kids up from school every day.

The Internet for making my life so much easier. And for allowing me the opportunity to order all of our Christmas gifts online to be delivered by postman rather than having to battle crazy people on Black Friday.

Birthdays because it means I’m still alive. And have one more year of experience.

Getting caught shoplifting in high school because it scared me in to being a better citizen.

Prednisone because, as much as I complain about it, without it I wouldn’t be able to breath.

Peanut Butter M&Ms and key lime pie martinis because YUM!

What are you thankful for?
